Question: What is love for the Creator?

Answer: For now, love for the Creator can exist only on the condition that He gives me an opportunity to win the lottery or does something good in my life, then everything is fine.

You have probably seen stickers saying, “Creator, we love You.” As if to say, “Do something for us. You see, we love You, we are asking You.” This is how a person speaks before self-annulment. And indeed, would it hurt anyone if we pray? Let Him help!

In the Introduction to The Study of the Ten Sefirot, it is said that love is the final degree. “And you shall love the Lord, your God” is a commandment that can be fulfilled only as a result of fulfilling all the other commandments.

You correct all your desires completely, and above them grows a general, final attitude. This is love.

Before that, love is completely different. It is simply a desire for life to be good, for children to be born, for everything to work out: “You want a prayer? I’ll pray. You want an action? I’ll do it. Commandments? Of course. Just let things be good for me.”

Question: Where does a true attitude toward the Creator begin?

Answer: A true attitude toward the Creator begins with the revelation of oppositeness, pressure, hatred, and the feeling of lacking equivalence of form. Before beginning any action, one must think about the state that should precede that action: “What Kli (vessel) is necessary for this?”

In other words, if I arrive at a state where I love the Creator, then before this I must develop a desire to love Him. And the desire to love the Creator must arise from rejecting the state in which I clearly see that I do not love Him. What does it mean that I do not love Him? I hate Him, I am opposite to Him, and I have absolutely no desire for Him.

How do I reveal this? When the light acts upon my Kli, which is opposite to it in its properties. What effort must I make in order to draw such a great light upon myself? And so on.

In other words, if we go from the end to the beginning and continually move in reverse, we will reveal that the lights enter the Kelim (vessels) and create them, that is how we study. We will go in the opposite direction: the light enters and exits, and from this the Kli is created. This is the path of advancement.

But if I follow the path opposite to that advancement, from the end to the beginning, then each time I must reveal the state through an opposite, reverse action, like moving in reverse. Then I will see what preparation is required for each state that I choose and that I want to reach.

Question: If a person feels that they do not agree with the Creator, want to rebel against Him, and curse Him, what should they do in such a case? Should they feel ashamed?

Answer: If a person does not agree with the Creator, they might want to erase that thought because they fear they may suffer because of it, or, conversely, they can use it as a means to actually do something.

It all depends on to whom I attribute what is happening within me. If I attribute my thoughts to the Creator, it means that the Creator sent them to me purposefully so that I would do something with them. Then I will treat these thoughts and feelings as a valuable acquisition.

If, however, I believe that these thoughts come from myself, that their cause is not Him, but me, then I will immediately want to erase or obscure them so that they do not cause me anything bad.

That is, it all depends on what we consider to be the cause of what is happening. Ultimately, this determines our attitude to reality. Either I want only to cover it up and paint it pink, or relate to it in a purposeful and effective way.

As for the feeling of shame, if I simply feel shame because I am opposite to the Creator, then this shame is based on the fact that the Master gave me something. Then I want to either erase the Master from my field of vision, or give it all up, just to avoid feeling shame. If, however, I feel that the Creator sends me the feeling of shame for a specific purpose, then it becomes a springboard for me to leap forward.

How Can We Remember the Correct Thought During the Study?

This requires preparation. During the study itself, we certainly cannot suddenly remember the correct thought unless we had already intended it beforehand. This is because we already know, from trying and failing several times, that during the study we are unable to direct ourselves properly.

Then we begin to worry: “Today as well as tomorrow I will sit here without benefit, so what will come of it?” Before the study, we already begin thinking about what will happen to us during the study. This concern before the study prepares us to think correctly during the study.

This is possible if we simply train ourselves to do so. It does not happen quickly. We need to do many things in a very unsophisticated way, simply, like “an ox to the load and a donkey to the burden.”
